As Pierre and selckiku pointed out, {le} seems most meaningful when
used to particularize a member of a category against other members of
the same category. For this aspect, {le} may be expanded like so:

=A0le gerku =3D zo'e su'anai noi gerku ( particular DOG )

({su'anai} is to modify {zo'e} rather than {noi} or {gerku}, becaus= e
what's particular isn't the fact that the referent is a DOG but the=
existence of the referent itself out of other members of DOG.)

As opposed to:

=A0lo gerku =3D zo'e noi gerku ( general / particular / ... DOG )
=A0lo'e gerku =3D zo'e su'a noi gerku ( general DOG )

{le fraso} is a su'anai FRENCH-LANGUAGE (likely a dialect), which is still a FRENCH-LANGUAGE. If you ate {le badna}, you would have eaten
{lo badna} of the same instance, because a particular BANANA is still
a BANANA.
